Sexual Item
You see her as just an item of Sexual pleasure.
Scratching only the surface forgetting there is a beating heart underneath. Just like yours but perhaps more pure.
Her soul impatiently waiting to be discovered. A true beauty underneath the 'curves and humps'.
She was a museum full of art but you have your eyes shut.
'Importing' her into parties just so she can entertain you.
Never having a variety of conversations with her.
Fixing her into the stereotype her of 'dumb' just because of her beauty.
"That's the thing about stereotypes, it's not that they are untrue but they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story." Chimamanda Adiche
You are too lazy to search for the other stories. There are three sides of every story, the third is yours.
But she won't blame you. The girls you've come across have left this impression on you. A sour taste in your mouth.
I put it to you to rearrange your prejudice.
Tell each story afresh.
